Yesterday: Rain, Paint, Butter, & Bruises

Hello friends!

I want to first tell y’all that you make me laugh, you encourage me, and really I’d like to spend some time with each of you because I think you’re all super cool.

Sometimes I assume you’ve been around since the very beginning of this blog. But back then no one was around besides me, Mom, DaddyBoy & MommaSis. Because I thought you’ve all been around forever I figured you knew I made the star garland but bought the stockings from Pottery Barn Kids {post-Christmas sale in 2006}. The star garland was way easy. I just made a star pattern and cut stars from fabric scraps, used fusible fleece between the two layers, used a straight stitch to sew the layers together, and used my pinking shears around the edges. At the top of each star I made a button hole and strung the stars on twine. The stars are hung on an old door that we have above our fireplace. We are mantel-less but had the door in the garage. In fact, it used to be our headboard when we were first married.

Yesterday it rained.

For the majority of my childhood I lived in areas of our country that get snow days when it snows. We don’t get snow here but we get rain and when it’s forecasted to rain hard they cancel school. Which is just fine by me. We love preschool but we also love not going to preschool!

We also like to create enormous messes while making masterpieces.

Thank you, Mom for the circa 1991 box of printer paper… we’ve just barely put a dent in it!

We also did a little baking and decorating and I’m still trying to decide if I should tell you how many cookies I ate… or not.

Then I made Cinnamon Honey Butter!

And I’m going to make a very bold statement about it… if you use any recipe from this blog let it be this ONE! I’m making it for my neighbors, pastors, friends and I feel certain that I’m going to have to make it for everyone I know because it’s so incredibly tasty I wouldn’t want anyone to be left out.

I used the whisk attachment for my mixer and whipped the butter {make sure it’s soft and room temp}. I added to it the powdered sugar, then the honey, then the cinnamon. Whip it good. Scrape the sides. Whip it again.

Then spoon it into your precious little 4 oz jars {I found ’em at Wally World}. If you can’t find the small ones, your friends and neighbors would be more than happy to receive a larger jar of it! The measurements above yielded 6 small jars.

You can doll them up with a fabric scrap and tag!
The fabulous tags are by pixelimpress {a sponsor with a great deal}!

I put my jars in the frige but it spreads easier at room temp! You can eat it by the spoonful or serve it on English muffins, bagels, biscuits, rolls, or toast… or sweet potatoes… or oatmeal! Really it’s quite diverse. I can’t decide if it needs a warning along the lines of “may cause excessive consumption of carbohydrates”! Because in the last 36 hours I’ve eaten about 47 biscuits, 32 rolls, 6 slices of toast… and anything else I can spread it on!

And last but not least…

When you were a kid did you used to fake sprain your ankle or wrist so you could wrap it in an ace bandage? Or wear fake glasses? I must have “sprained” my wrist 10 times between the ages of 8 and 11. Well, I haven’t sprained anything but I have had a little drama trauma to my tricep and I have absolutely milked it for all it’s worth and it would really be a shame if I didn’t show it to you. Please pray for my husband… he’s really handling it much better than I thought he would.

Merry Christmas! Please make some Cinnamon Honey Butter! Or come over and I’ll toast you up an English muffin and serve you some!

Oooh, this is so weird – I made cinnamon butter for the very first time last night! I made it from heavy cream ’cause I had some extra in the fridge. And for some reason, it seemed like a good idea to use the “shake it til your arm falls off” method instead of using my mixer. I kid you not, both of my arms were sore all day today!

Thank you so so so much for posting that recipe for the Cinnamon Honey Butter! My co-workers and I eat at a restaurant that serves this with hot rolls and we LOVE it! I plan on making some and giving it to them for Christmas! Thank you for all the recipes and ideas you share! ~ Ashley

Nope, never pretended a sprain nor did I wear fake glasses. However, I never liked having perfect teeth, or seeing perfect teeth (still don’t) so I used to sit for hours and push my two front teeth with my thumb so they’d stick out a little. Also tried to figure out how to make a gap in my two front teeth. Alas, neither worked. I am going to make that honey butter next week!

Oh that butter looks so yummy. I never would have thought to put powdered sugar in it. Thanks for the great idea! I will definitely be making this, and what a cute little gift it makes. I bet it would be wonderful with maple syrup or just maple flavoring in it too.

This was a fun post! It sounded like a good mood just coming on through the computer screen! I guess that is what lots of sugar and yummy carbs do to a girl : ) Yay for Christmas time!

Wow – that sounds amazingly good. And I’d totally love it if you guys came over to hang out. Sam and Justin could drink Guiness and talk doctrine and we could “talk fabric” and have general sinster0in0the-Lord fellowship while all seven of our collective children made a BIG mess in the kitchen. Preferably your kitchen 🙂

But I guess I’ll just have to settle for reading your blog. I love it. Have a great weekend!

Fabulous! I will be making some cinnamon honey butter it sounds fabulous! I will be making lots of this to hand out this year. I think everyone needs a change from their usual batch of spice teat I make every year.
There is another household favorite around here that came from your blog. The cinniminis, or “mommy’s famous breakfast” as it is known around here. Although, I owe that credit to you. My three girls adore the cinniminis and beg me to make them at least once a week.

I will make it tomorrow! Love new recipes:) So sorry about your bruise, that looks really sore-

totally used to fake sprain my wrist. i think i even got a velcro-on cast for it once!

[and i guess i am one of the few that’s been around for a while–i certainly remember last years stars. and i thought about you today when i came home to a pot burning dry on the stove. except i was not dry boiling paci’s–my mulling spices had boiled dry. i knew it by the smell when i walked in the door…]

I made honey butter for Thanksgiving and raved and raved about only to find that my husband (he knows better!) and myself were the only ones who tried it. What the heck?! What was wrong w/these people? I will definetly be trying your recipe next time — it looks DIVINE. 🙂

Oh dear…I’m afraid I may gain 6 pounds just for looking at that! But I also think you may have just given me the PERFECT idea for gifts this year! I’ve been baking the “same ol’same ol'” for years now and I was looking for a new idea…especially since I see people run when I come at them with my coconut and peanut butter balls screaming “not again!!!” 😉

Thanks for the info on the garland…and you will not believe it…or at least I still can’t since it is almost miraculous for me to be crafty with what I’ve got. Or crafty at all for that matter…anyhoo, I’ve had an antique dresser in our homeschool room for a couple of years now that I store craft goodies in for school. It’s the kind that has a decorative mirror that attaches to the back. I’ve had the mirror on the floor behind the dresser hidden as to not look so much like a dresser…in a school room…if you know what i mean. After reading your blog and The Nesters it hit me like a sweet piece of manna from heaven yesterday that I could SOOOOO put that decorative antique mirror above my mantle for Christmas! So I propped it up there and it’s gawgeous if I do say so myself…and I just did. Thanks for being so inspiring…now if only I had a spare door laying around in my garage….oh, and those PB stockings too! 😉

Darby, this cinnamon honey butter recipe sounds delicious! I was wondering, would this be something I could can? I am assuming no b/c of the butter, but I know you are an expert on the subject, so thought I would check. Thanks for always sharing such wonderful ideas. Laura F.

Kristen

December 4, 2009 at 12:59 am

Thanks for the recipe! I think I will make it for my mom for part of her Christmas present since she loves cinnamon so much and since Christmas is right before she moves she does not want a lot of stuff or “more to pack” as she says. Thank you so much!

Uh, yea. I’ll be by for crumpets or muffins. English will do. Rock on little gal! Love the tags. I am going to post a FABULOUS recipe for some spoon rolls that I bet would shine with some of that butter! I better hurry and get it up or you will have eaten all of your butter. LOL!
See you tomorrow night-

Oh yes, I was the queen of fake glasses. And my daughter has gone through nearly an entire box of coban (self adhesive ace wrap) that I brought home when I quit work. I nurture fake injuries all the time! Now for the butter. Just simply divine. And because I’m southern and have about 5-6 pounds of butter on hand, I think I’ll make biscuits and cinnamon butter this morning. Thanks for the recipe. I also found the coolest ‘vintage’ 12 days of Christmas cookie cutters so we may just have to make cookies too. Oh how I wish we lived closer!
Sorry ’bout your bruise. That’s a bad one. I’ve got a getting-larger-by-the-minute ganglion cyst in my right 1st metacarpal joint—-and I talk nonstop about it and make various family members feel it all the time. At present, I can’t open anything with a screw-top. I may have to seek medical attention. Or maybe I’ll just wrap is snugly in Emme’s coban!

Looks like the butter is a must-try. Darling, packaging, too!! Sorry ’bout your boo-boo, but definitely think it’s worth a little milking! Please pray for us as we set flight tonight for Texas – there’s a chance for ice/snow around our arrival time – in Houston? Good grief! 😉

BLOGS: the Pros and the CONS – yes there are a few. Pros – you get to find out how to do great projects, meet new people (even if you never really talk to them – i feel like I semi know you by now), and the CONS – there are now 4 different “projects” I wan’t to do for Christmas – NOW WHAT? Thanks for the Honey Butter Recipe, love it and am going to add that to my craft list of things to make. Thinking I will turn my presents into a “care package” of sorts :)and don’t worry, when I get a bruise or anything that “hurts” for the matter I milk to too 🙂

If that bruise isn’t a reason to stop housework I don’t know what is!! It’s funny because I just got a giant bruise on the inside of my leg from the same thing, cleaning and it is amazing how big and ugly it is and yes, I too have milked it. If you’ve got it, milk it!!

You are hilarious. I am so sorry about your bruise. WHY didn’t you tell me about it yesterday? I could have sent you flowers. I hope you save a honey butter for me. I might make this for neighbors. Although I always talk about gifts for neighbors then I never find the time to make them. Maybe I’ll turn over a new leaf this year. I love you, your cookies, your bruise,your children, your childrens art work, your butter, and YOU.

Happy Friday! Reading this just made me smile b/c your happiness came right through the computer. Thank you – I needed it this morning. It is a cold, blustery day in Chicago. The recipe sounds delicious and easy, which is a must for me.

Darby,
I have been reading your blog for a while now, but this is my first time to comment. I too am an Auburn graduate; 2001 to be exact. I think I have made most of your recipes listed, and of course, they are all fabulous. I can’t wait to make the cinnamon honey butter! Thank you for allowing “us” into your life each day. Your children are beautiful, and you are incredibly talented.
Since you leave us with so many great recipes, I only find it fair to leave you with one in return.
Zucchini Appetizer
3 cups zucchini, thinly sliced
1 cup Bisquik baking mix
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 parmesan cheese grated
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/2 cup vegtable oil
4 eggs beaten
In large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except zucchini. Use electric mixer on low until moistened. Add zucchini and stir until covered by mix. Spread evenly into 9″ X 12″ greased baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely. Cut into pieces.
Enjoy!!! Great for the holidays!

Love it! All of it! Well, except the bruise of course! That looks painful! You are so inspiring….the way you let your kids have fun and make a mess and do multiple “fun” projects in the same day. You are a fantastic mom!

I feel so honored that when you posted that photo of your star garland, I thought to myself, “Ah, I remember when she talked about making that in the past.” And now I realize I’m one of your long-term readers/stalkers/fans/wannabee friends.

I literally just returned from Walmart while my kids are at preschool and do not have the ingredients for this butter, which might be a good thing. I would absolutely be whipping it up instead of typing this comment if I could. Maybe one day this weekend. Thanks for sharing. (Speaking of recipes, your mini cinnamon rolls are a regular treat around our house and I can’t tell you how many fudge pies I’ve made. Ha!!)

Last thing – I’m not your only reader in my household. My four-year-old asks to “check on Morgan” about 3 or 4 times a week. I showed her your post on Morgan’s haircut and the first day of school and now she’s a loyal fan! I think she really, really wanted to come to the birthday party tea party.

Hope you enjoy a delightful Friday.

You’re hilarious! The bruise bit cracked me up. I milk any and all injuries as long as I can.

Darby, your recipe looks and sounds so irresistible, I may just have to make it this weekend. Your blog is always such a blessing and inspiration to read. I hope you feel better soon, that bruise looks so painful. Have a great weekend & merry christmas!!

Thanks for posting the recipe. I’ll be making some for friends & family. Hope your bruise heals quickly. I’m clumsy & have no idea how I acquired some of my bruises. I also remember faking sprains as a child 🙂

Darby – I am one of your fans…and while I haven’t been here since the beginning, I went back and read it all. Pathetic? Nah… I couldn’t help myself, it was like a good book… it had a story and a how-to element… so I feel like i have been here through it all, and yes, i knew about the star garland… and i think back {all the time} on your rental house (since we live in one) and feel better knowing that someone else in the world didn’t want to take their shoes off in their bathroom…

I love reading you blog, and this post made my day. I will be making some of your cinnamon honey butter… how long does it keep??

Have a great day, Darby. Thanks for everything you do that inspires me to be a better mother and homemaker!

December 4, 2009 at 12:44 pm

Love this post. Too cute. I am going to attempt to make some of this. Looks easy enough, and those are the recipes that I like!! Thank you for your kindness to share with others. You touch so many lives. It’s amazing to me that your children’s schools close for heavy rain days! LOL…. My son’s wont’ close until a few inches of snow are on the ground at least. I do look forward to those days as well. Well deserved surprise time with the little ones. I hope your arm feels better soon.

I love whenever you write these all-over-the-place posts. They always crack me up!
I will definitely be making the butter.
And I hope your arm feels better. I have gotten clumsier the older I get. I think most of my scars are from silly adult clumsiness – I can’t even tell a good “when I was a kid” story for any of them!

December 4, 2009 at 1:15 pm

Admit it – you just want us all to come over because you want an excuse to eat more of that honey butter!

Darby- this bruise totally reminds me of high school when we all faked bruises for tennis practice. I know I have pictures somewhere…I can’t even remember who, but someone ran into a planter at the mall, and we thought we should match. Nonetheless, thanks for facilitating that memory 🙂

Mmmm, sounds amazing! In the last week Ive made 3 of your recipes and loved them all. I hadn’t done much real cooking since my daughter (a little junior rover) was born and I figured if you made those recipes with your kids around I should try it too 🙂 Thanks for inspiring me!

Ok, so they cancel school for rain? Rain? Where oh where is this magic land you speak of? I teach Kindergarten at a Christian school in Houston … it snowed today and guess where I was? Two weeks before Christmas. 16 Kinderfriends. Snow. Oh. My. Goodness.

Must ask, can you please, please, please teach us how to make our pictures bigger on our blogs and how to make the FUN Happy Birthday banner? We are going to Israel in March and will be there with our girl as she turns 14 and my Mom turns muffle muffle muffle and I can’t pack a party in the suitcase, but I can pack a Happy Birthday banner.

I enjoy your blog so much. I giggle at your kiddos. Partly because mine was a scalliwag too (they will grow up WAY too fast!) and partly because kids just crack me up (there is a reason why I teach Kindergarten … mostly because it just amuses me!) I have learned a lot and been inspired to try somethings I would have thought were beyond me. Thanks for sharing your day with “strangers”!

I thought I was in Heaven with the Pumpkin Butter but now this….I can’t wait to it!

I love me some butter!

Thanks for sharing!

Darby,

I just made the cinnamon honey butter! It is soooo delicious. My family and I were spooning it in our mouths! Thanks and Merry Christmas!

ps, I went to a grocery store that I don’t normally frequent and found Jane’s Crazy Salt! I was so excited to find it…I love to try all the things you do! (Do I sound like a total stalker or what?) Thanks, Darby!

December 5, 2009 at 9:23 pm

Darby,
Your post made me laugh out loud! What a bruise! Are you like me in that you bruise yourself with alarming regularity?! Sometimes I’m surprised when I notice the bruise because I don’t remember how it got there. I guess being uncoordinated has something to do with it….should have realized that when I skied into a vertical wooden pole at age 8.
Anyway!
Thanks for sharing the recipe for the honey butter – looks delicious! Love your blog! 🙂

Darby,
I love the butter!!! It made my toast taste like a cinnamon roll! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I’ve never commented before, but Sarah Martin is a great friend of mine. I found your blog via Sarah’s, and I love reading about your sweet girls and cute little boy!
Hope your arm is better:)

Darby…love the recipe. Thanks for sharing. I’m making this year for neighbors and teachers. Also…how did you mount the door on the brick? I have a door just like that and never thought of making it my mantle.
Thanks.
Debra

I used to love to have fake sprains and Ace bandage them up, use fake glasses AND fake braces. I also wished for crutches. Until I broke my foot and really needed them a few years ago. Guess you should be careful what you wish for.

My daughter, told me about your Blog last year and now it is a regular part of my day. I have now made 10 jars of the Honey, Cinnamon butter and have shared the recipe with two of my friends. I am keeping one of the jars for myself…can not help it.
Thanks for sharing your life with us. Gloria, a 70m year old reaader.

December 8, 2009 at 11:46 am

THANK YOU DARBY! The cinnamon honey butter is soooo good! I cut the cinnamon in half (for my husband) and it was incredible. I’ve already got some in the fridge to give out for Christmas. BTW, I love your blog!

December 8, 2009 at 11:47 am

I just read the comment, “How do you stay so skinny?” and I was wondering the same thing! You should tell us your secret!

The pics of the girls painting made me smile. Looks like so much fun. I have to admit that I’m scared to make the butter though for fear that I’ll eat all of it myself! I probably will have to try it despite that…sounds delicious! ~L

I found you through Jenny Lynn@graham crackas. She posted about the delish butter. I’m going to be making this very soon! Thanks!

I found the 4 oz jars at a local ACE HARDWARE PTL! I looked high & low and did not want to pay shipping, sooooo…..off I go to a smaller town outside of my home here in Norman, Oklahoma. Maybe this will help someone who is also searching!

I LOVE the cinnamon honey butter idea! How clever, and in such pretty packaging! I am definitely planning to try it out this year. I just featured it in a post on my blog about DIY hostess gifts. Thanks for the great idea!

Darby, my mom used to make that honey butter when we were kids & we made darling bear bread (bread that looked like a Teddy bear) and spread the honey butter on it, so yummy! That honey butter also makes delicious syrup for pancakes and waffles, just melt the butter completely. When I make it, I don’t measure, just put a little butter, honey, & cinnamon in a liquid measuring cup & microwave until butter is melted.

I found you via Heather & wanted to thank you for sharing this yummy looking receipe. I love any thing cinnamon so this is right up my alley. Thanks again for sharing & have a Merry Christmas. Charlene

Made it last night, found the recipe on Heather’s blog. It is so yummy and I’m excited to give it as gifts, it is just what I needed – something simple, easy, tasty and delightful to give, thank you for sharing the recipe!!! ~ I have a gift for everyone on my blog if you want to stop by! ~ Violet

I made the cinnamon honey butter today – oh boy, it is sooooo good! Thanks so much for posting the recipie. I’m going to give them as gifts tomorrow at work (that is, if they make it that long in my fridge!). Yum!

[…] also found a really great recipe for some Cinnamon Honey Butter on another bloggers site: {Fly Through Our Window}. I haven’t tried it yet – but it looks like such a cute idea for an inexpensive […]

just made the cinnamon honey butter! the first batch i used exactly what you recommended, but the second batch i cut out a little of the sugar – i think my honey was ultra-sweet! ( : THANKS! sending them out with the man for christmas gifts for his bosses.

Hi!
I love your Cinnamon Honey Butter recipe. I made some for Christmas gifts and I just included it on my blog with photos (and a link to your blog). I even designed my own tag. Thanks for sharing this!

YUM!!!! I made the cinnamon honey butter today. I found it on Pinterest, and one of the comments said to half the amount of sugar and honey, so that is what I did and it is PERFECT! My kids adore “cinnamon toast” that I make with butter, cinnamon and sugar, so this reduces it all to one step for me. IF I decide to share it, that is 🙂
Thanks again!

October 17, 2011 at 4:39 pm

Also, for some above comments, I have a majority of it in a jar in the fridge. I have a small amount that I will leave at room temp, but I wouldn’t leave it at room temp for more than 3 days 🙂 Hope this helps!

Made this the other day! Loved it! So yummy!!!! Kids couldn’t stop eating…lol! I’m making more for Christmas gifts 🙂 Bought the little mason jars the other day!

First I would like to say thank you for this awesome recipe.. I made it and took it to work and everybody loved it. My cousin wanted to know why her jar was so little and was very upset when her son ate the last bit she was going to eat for breakfast. So now I am going to make 8oz jars for the complainers, because they didnt want to share and now they can LOL.

December 21, 2011 at 11:47 am

this is SO good!!! i made some as a test this weekend and hubby and i have been eating it on everything. planning to make a big batch to give as xmas presents along with some fresh biscuits…wondering how long you think this will keep?

Emilee

December 29, 2011 at 9:25 pm

I just made this tonight after seeing it on pinterest earlier today! I am waiting for my homemade whole wheat to get out of the oven so I can taste it on bread … I already tried a small spoonful and it like Christmas morning in your mouth. Thank you so much for the recipe. I need to make more for all the ladies at work.

Thank you so much!!

Kelly

January 3, 2012 at 8:04 pm

I made this butter today and next time I will use less powedered sugar. It tasted good, but a bit too sweet. Would be awesome on fried dough. But for bread, way less powdered sugar. 🙂 I LOOOOVE the stuff at Texas Road house!

Can you tell me if the Cinnamon Honey Butter can be processed so it will last awhile? Can it be put in a pressure canner or a boil bath, if so what pressure for the canner or how long for either method

jennifer

January 16, 2012 at 5:23 pm

hi, i made this today ( it was sooo yummy) but it seemed to separate pretty bad if i stopped stirring for 2 min. Did i do something wrong or is that just the way it is?

Alicia

February 26, 2012 at 10:37 am

First of all, I halved the recipe and cut waaaay down on the honey (too much honey can be overpowering!) & it turned out to be delicious!!
How I made it:
-1 stick of butter, room temp.
– 1/2 c. powdered sugar
– 3 Tbsp. honey
– 1 tsp. cinnamon

Whip until smooth with a mixer. I used the whisk attachment on my Kitchen Aid.

April 8, 2012 at 10:45 am

FAR FAR too much honey. I didn’t even use a full cup, and it was like a mouthful of honey with a slight hint of cinnamon. It didn’t even taste like butter to either of us. I don’t even think honey is necessary for this, but I’d have only used a teaspoon at most.

alisha

May 2, 2012 at 6:14 pm

Okay so WAY WAY WAY too much honey and cinnamon. I would really think about halving whats called. I had to add more butter just to make it palatable. Second the honey keeps separating from the rest of the mixture. I’m going to throw it in the fridge to see if it will harden up and then try mixing it again to see how it holds.

Wendy D

May 19, 2012 at 10:53 pm

hello, I just made this and #1.. Absolutely way too much honey. Way too much. I used MAYBE 2-3 TBSP. In the recipe it states 2 sticks of butter, do NOT substitute regular old crock pot butter. After scrapping the first batch I used the unsalted sweet cream butter (Great Value brand from Wal-Mart) and the 2-3 TBSP of honey and it turned out perfect!! Thank You so much for this recipe!!

I can’t wait to make the cinnamon honey butter! What a great idea for Christmas gifts for teachers. So much better than cheap scented candles or an ornament with their name on it. I love your website! You’re fun!!! 🙂

June 1, 2012 at 6:39 pm

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!!! I, too, cut back on the honey because my clan doesn’t like the actual taste of honey that much. I decreased it 1/4 c. Gives a honey taste but it isn’t overpowering at all. It really does taste like Texas Roadhouse butter! Awesome!!! Now I can save the $45 we spend going there and make this butter at home! Now I have to try the copycat biscuit recipe I found too! 🙂

How long is the butter good for once its made. unopened and also open, I so want to make this for Christmas Present , just want to know how early I can make it I have 27 people to make this for .

December 7, 2012 at 9:13 am

i tried this and all i could taste was the honey. then when i refrigerated it, it turned into just a big hard glob. it wasn’t soft like butter anymore. any ideas? the honey taste was so strong, couldn’t taste anything else in it!

Laura

What setting did you whip the honey butter at?

I unfortunately can’t afford a Kitchen Aid, but I love to bake, so I just used a blender and a whisk.

Thank you for this recipe. I enjoyed your comments also, funny and uplifting. What a bruise, and watch those biscuits.

Don’t get me wrong, this recipe is delicious and easy! However, compared to the authentic Texas Road House butter, I think this calls for a little too much honey. Keep that in mind if you are expecting the same taste. I will cut mine down to 1/2 or 3/4 cup next time I make it. Plus, you get much more than you expect. If making for a small family, consider cutting the recipe in half to keep it fresh.

Just made the cinnamon honey butter for our sweet potatoes for dinner last night. It was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Thank you so much for sharing! I have tons leftover…I am storing it in a small mason jar and wonder how long it will stay fresh… 😉
